Worth remembering from this episode
Ordered by what we think matters most.
tío / tía
dude, guy, man / woman (informal address)expressioncolloquialExtremely common informal address between people of any relationship. Carries no literal meaning of uncle/aunt in these contexts, it simply marks casual, familiar speech between adults.

to snitch, to talk (to authorities)expressioncolloquialIn criminal or street contexts, cantar means to confess or inform on others under pressure, not to sing. The literal meaning is always 'to sing', so context is everything.

to be mixed up in something, to be involved in something (usually shady)expressioncolloquialMetido/a on its own just means 'stuck in' or 'inserted', but the phrase estar metido/a en algo strongly implies entanglement in risky, illegal, or complicated affairs.
